ahhhh, Seattle
well it’s good to be back in NYC after a trip out west. the temperate, misty Seattle weather now replaced by sockyouintheface 90 degree heat.
it felt like i hadn’t been to seattle in ages so it was wonderful to visit somewhere where you actually felt like you had some history and roots.
i borrowed my godmother’s car and was jazzed to learn it had a cassette deck, which meant i could unearth some of my zillions of tapes from yesteryear. only trouble was…what went into the tape player did not come out. so i heard an awful lot of “Promise of a New Day”.
as well as this little nugget…
Blue Pearl – “Can You Feel The Passion”
i toured a lot of old haunts, tons of places i lived, as well as some favorite haunts such as….

Grant’s (Second) Danceclub (after The Underground), The Oz (now defunct): 
which makes me think of this song, btw…
Lil Louis – “French Kiss”
Grant’s first gaybar (totally underage, mind you) Neighbors: 
I was lucky enough to hit a current homo hotspot with friend Kerry and got our dancegroove on 90s style (can’t remember the name of the place).

The DJs were a bit rough…but they played a song I was totally grooving to. I had never heard this gem before…but I found it later after some hunting (though I feel like it was a slightly different mix, or is there a funky cover? anyone know?). Props to Seattle for exposing me to something new again (even if it’s from 1979)
Delta 5 – “Mind Your Own Business
Seattle also looked typically beautiful. The Experience Music Project, a bit of a monster far away, is a glimmering beauty up close….
I’ll miss you Seattle – thanks to all the people who took the time to see me!

TOTALLY digging the Blue Pearl tune.Somehow the "French Kiss" video got uploaded twice, but I found Delta 5 on YouTube. It’s wild! Seems like it was in the movie "Stranger Than Fiction," which probably brought it back into the forefront.Looks like there have been some remixes. Check out these possibilities:http://www.discogs.com/Various-This-Is-The-Dark-Side-Mixes-Volume-03/release/1696109http://www.discogs.com/Delta-5-Mind-Your-Own-Business/release/2030139And/or these remakes:http://www.discogs.com/Pigface-Head/release/381584http://www.discogs.com/Chicks-On-Speed-Mind-Your-Own-Business/release/311754
